DAMON KEITH THAT'S THE MITCH ALBUM EVENT. THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A WEEK AGO. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TOPICS THAT HAVE FOLKS BUZZING. JOINING US TODAY IS DR. DON CAR PEN TERRITORY HOST OF THE DR. DON MORNING SHOW. ALSO JASON HALL THE CO-FOUNDER OF DETROIT BIKE CITY. ALSO SLOW ROLL DETROIT. AND MARLIN PAGE A SPEAKER AND TECHNOLOGY EXPERT WHO WORKS IN THE CITY OF DETROIT. WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL STOPPING BY. LET'S JUMP RIGHT INTO SOME MARIJUANA ISSUES HERE. [LAUGHTER] IT'S MONDAY. [LAUGHTER] WE'VE GOT A STATE SENATOR THAT SAYS YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S TIME THAT IF YOU WANT THE MEDICINAL MARIJUANA TO BE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IF YOU WANT THE DOSAGES TO BE PREDICTABLE THEN IT'S TIME WE PUT IT IN PHARMACIES WHERE WE GET THE REST OF OUR MEDICINES. CRITICS ARE SAYING THIS IS JUST BIG MONEY FOLKS TRYING TO GET IN AND TAKE IT FROM HOMEGROWN PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING IT NOW. GOOD IDEA, BAD IDEA THAT YOU CAN GO TO THE WALGREEN'S AND PICK UP SOME POT? MARLIN IS SMILING. NO, I'M GOING FIRST BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY [LAUGHTER] I JUST CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE GOING TO C.V.S. SAYING ALONG WITH MY TYLENOL CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A BAG OF WEED. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE IT WHY? IT'S JUST YOU KNOW WHAT, BECAUSE IT'S CHANGED IT'S DIFFERENT THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I CAN'T IMAGINE IT. BUT MY ISSUE WOULD BE WITH BIG BUSINESS HONING IN ON THIS. THIS IS THE REASON WE DON'T HAVE AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. SO NOW PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY NEED THE MARIJUANA YOU HAVE TO BE A SPECIAL AND SPECIAL CLASS TO TAKE IT IF YOU NEED IT MEDICALLY. I THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE IT ALONE RIGHT NOW. LET IT BE HOMEGROWN. A NICKEL BAG WILL BE THIS BIG THIS BIG I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT'S INTERESTING FIRST FROM A REPORTERS STANDPOINT I HAVE DONE SOME STORIES THERE HAS BEEN SOME MISCOMMUNICATION IN THE LAW. SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY'RE DOING THINGS RIGHT, SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT DOING THINGS RIGHT WITH THE GROWING OPERATIONS AND THIS WOULD BE NOT SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T DO IT ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SELL IT? WELL, I GOT TO SAY I THINK IT'S A GREAT TIED HAVE THEM AT THE MARIJUANA AT THE PHARMACIES BECAUSE THINK OF IT IT'S ONE STOP SHOPPING. THEY CARRY CHOCOLATE THERE'S NO PLACE AROUND. EXACTLY. JUST YOU KNOW WELCOME TO THE PROFESSIONALS. TOP THAT DUDE. I NEVER EVEN FWHOUT THAT BUT THAT IS SO TRUE. I THINK AGREE I THINK THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO SET SOMETHING UP WITH DISPENSARIES. WHY CHANGE THE PROGRAM. I THINK IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY. AND TO DEFINE THE PROCESS. THE OTHER BIG STORIES I'M SURE HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS THE NFL BULLYING TALKING ABOUT SUSPENDED MIAMI DOLPHIN RICHIE INCOGNITO SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE IS APOLOGIZING FOR USING RACIAL SLURS BUT SAID HE DIDN'T BULLY TEAMMATE JOHN MARTIN AND PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOCKER ROOM CULTURE IN THE NFL OR HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MARTIN. SO DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS BEEN BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION? WE'LL START WITH YOU? I JUST KIND OF WONDER WHERE CAN DID HE GET THIS NAME RICHIE INCOGNITO I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF ANTHONY WEINER SCREEN NAMES. I THOUGHT REALLY WHERE DID THAT COME FROM. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW NDAMUKONG SUH GETS SLAPPED WITH ALL THESE FINES AND THIS GUY IS NOT GETTING SLAPPED WITH THEM. IN ALL HONESTY THE N WORD AND EXPLETIVES I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY PLACE FOR ANY SORT OF THING FOR THAT THING IN SOCIETY. WHAT DO YOU THINK JASON? FOOTBALL AND SPORTS ARE A MICROCOSM WITHIN THEMSELVES. FOR US TO TRY TO LOOK IN SOMETIMES AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR MIND-SET IS OR THOUGHT PROCESS IS KIND OF OUT THERE. AND THEY'RE KIND OF OUT THERE THEY'RE FOOTBALL PLAYERS. YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO I HAVE BEEN IN THE LOCKER ROOM BEFORE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING ON THAT LEVEL IT'S DEFINITELY OUT OF CONTROL, YOU KNOW. YOU START CALLING PEOPLE RACIAL SLURS AND GOING THAT FAR. I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO EXAMINE IS WHAT SPORTS IS WILLING TO DO TO LET PLAYERS PLAY. LIKE THAT'S WHERE I'M SAYING WELL, THEY KNOW THIS GUY IS LIKE THIS BUT HIS PERFORMANCE OUTWEIGHS THAT? THAT'S A SOCIETAL THING I THINK WE NEED TO WORK ON. AND I ALSO THINK THE LARGER CONVERSATION THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE IN THE LOCKER ROOMS WHAT ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO SAY TO YOU. YES, I'M AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN BUT NO ONE THAT I KNOW OF WOULD IN MY FACE EVER CALL ME THE N WORD BECAUSE YOU JUST CAN'T. IT'S THE WAY I CARRY MYSELF I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE MY FRIEND MY CLASSMATE OR FAMILY MEMBER THERE'S A LINE YOU DON'T CROSS. SO WHAT IS THE EXPLANATION WHAT ARE THEY SAYING IN THE LOCKER ROOM AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AROUND AS AFRICAN-AMERICAN PERSON AM I CALLING YOU OUT ON THAT IN THE LOCKER ROOM. OR IS THIS JUST OKAY THIS IS WHAT THEY DO? ALLOWING THE MANAGEMENT TO HAPPEN. THOSE GUYS ARE MICROMANAGERS. THAT'S RIGHT. LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MOVIES. IF HAVE YOU BEEN TO A MOVIE LATELY YOU LOOK AT THE LEVEL OF VIOLENCE THERE THIS IS AN INTERESTING STUDY ON THE JOURNAL PEDIATRICS. THEY SAID THERE'S MUCH MORE VIOLENCE TODAY IN A PG-13 FILM THAN THERE WAS IN AN R-RATED FILM BACK IN THE 80s. THEY GAVE AN EXAMPLE I THINK "DIEHARD" THEY HAD ONE IN 2007 IT AND WAS LIKE A PG-13. TERMINATOR VERSUS THE HUNGER GAMES AND THE OTHER ONE WAY MORE VIOLENCE. ROBO COP WAS RATED R. WE ARE ALLOWING AS A SOCIETY MORE VIOLENCE IS THAT OKAY? OR ARE WE LOWERING OUR STANDARDS? I THINK WE'RE ALLOWING MORE VIOLENCE. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THE WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO GAMES I THINK IT'S WHAT WE'RE SELLING AND PUSHING VIOLENCE IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY. PG-13 WILL DRAW A LARGER AUDIENCE. WE DESENSE ADVERTISED EVERYBODY TO VIOLENCE. I THINK THERE'S SOMEPLACES WHERE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH VIOLENCE IN MOVIES ESPECIALLY THE HALLMARK CHANNEL. I LIKE THAT CHANNEL! I'M WATCHING A FILM THE OTHER DAY THIS LADY IS DATING A GUY AND HER MOTHER DOESN'T LIKE HIM. I WAS JUST LIKE YOU JUST TAS HER. I LIKE THAT CHANNEL! YOU KNOW, MOVIES ARE GETTING -- I MYSELF I WATCH THEM ALL THE TIME AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING OLDER BECAUSE I FEEL THE DISCONNECT BECAUSE I DO FEEL THAT THEY'RE GETTING MORE VIOLENT. AT THE SAME TIME I THINK IT'S A DIFFERENT TIME AND ERA. I THINK PEOPLE SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY. WHAT WE DEFINED AS VIOLENCE NECESSARILY I DON'T THINK PEOPLE SEE IT. I THINK IT'S SHAME BECAUSE I'M REALLY THINKING OF A 13-YEAR-OLD GOING TO SOME OF THESE. ULTIMATELY AS A PARENT. YOU GOT TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH NOW. YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO TRADE THE RATING SYSTEM NOW WE CAN'T. A NEUROSCIENTIST FROM FRANCE SAYS IMPERFECTIONS ON A WOMAN'S FACE CAN BE A DISTRACTION TO THE BRAIN AND LEAD OTHERS TO RANK THEM LOWER ON THE SOCIAL SCALE. BUT MAKEUP WILL MAKE YOU MORE LIKABLE AND MAY MAKE YOU LUCKIER IN LOVE. IS THAT STATING THE OBVIOUS APPEARANCE MATTERS? I DON'T KNOW. I'M STARING I DIDN'T HEAR A WORD YOU SAID. BUT YOU'RE VERY CUTE, BY THE WAY, BUT I STILL DIDN'T HEAR A WORD YOU SAID. IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING. THEY ARE SAYING IT'S A DISTRACTION. TOO MUCH MAKEUP IS A DISTRACTION. SO FROM A GUY'S PERSPECTIVE NO JOKES WHAT DO YOU THINK? -- YOU REALIZE I HAVE TO GO HOME -- I GOT TO DEAL WITH HER WHEN WE'RE OFF OF HERE AND MY WIFE WHEN I GET HOME. I THINK THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PINCHT OBVIOUSLY WOMEN HAVE WORN MAKEUP FOREVER. FOR SOME IT WORKS REALLY GOOD I'M A BIG FAN OF HOME WITH HAVE NATURAL BEAUTY. THANK YOU. A MAKEUP-FREE WOMAN DO YOU MIND THAT TO BE A TURNOFF IS IT A BIG TURNOFF AS A WOMAN WHO WEARS TOO MUCH MAKEUP? OH, MAN. I'M NOT A MAKEUP GUY. I GOT TO BE HONEST. I'MANTS MAKEUP GUY. I'M SITTING NEXT TO YOU.
